The Fourth Lady novel Chapter 96

Ever since Qingyan heard the news, she was able to peacefully sleep. By the time she woke, Zizhu and Baizhi were already standing to the side with a bowl of water.

"Looks like Miss was able to sleep really well last night." Zizhu said as she handed Qingyan clothes one by one.

Qingyan put on the clothes handed to her one by one. Afterwards, she picked up the towel next to her and wiped her cheeks.

"Today father, mother, and big brother will be arriving home. Naturally I'm happy."

Especially since they also were able to successfully save Su Yun from danger, it was a wonderful thing even just thinking about it. That's why she was rather looking forward to seeing Su Yun and the others more than anything.

At least now, she has the power to protect her family.

At least, she couldn't just watch them walk step by step into that original nightmare.

Just when Su Qingyan pushed opened the door to the ancestral hall, she saw Ning Siyao walking towards her with Nianchun. That appearance looked as if she wanted to come laugh at Qingyan.

"My, fourth miss, you've learned quite a few things here." Ning Siyao looked to Su Qingyan and raised her voice mockingly.

If Su Yun and Luo Bing doesn't come back today, let's see how you'll live out the rest of your life.

When she thought of this, Ning Siyao let out an apparent smile.

"Thank you for the concern second aunt. I heard second brother is also returning home soon." Su Qingyan looked to Ning Siyao and calmly spoke, "If second brother sees that eldest sister has become like that, his heart would definitely ache."

Su Qingming adored Su Qingyuan that much, but those memories were all deeply engraved into her mind. However, it's also because of such that she felt Su Qingming, this opponent, was a bit interesting. At least he was an worthy opponent.

Besides, Xuanyuan Yuzhen and Murong Jingxuan were also planning on making a move against Su Qingming.

Heh. When the time comes, that kind of scene, she was more than willing to see.

When she heard Su Qingyan mention Su Qingming, Ning Siyao spoke with confidence, "That's right, our Ming'er is very impressive. When the time comes, you'll definitely die without a proper burial." Her tone was violent.

Zizhu couldn't bear to watch this. Just when she wanted to step out to help Qingyan, she was pulled back by Qingyan with her hand. Looking to Ning Siyao, Qingyan still had a calm look on her face, "Second aunt, when the time comes, let's just see which one of us dies without a burial then." With that said, Qingyan turned and left with Zizhu.

Ning Siyao spat out, still with a violent look, "Su Qingyan, if Su Yun and Luo bing both die, I'd liked to see how you will survive in this manor. It'll be your death when the time comes."

Ning Siyao said as she tightly clenched her fist. When the time comes, all the pain my Yuan'er has suffered, I will demand back from your body. I want you unable to live or die, kneeling before me begging.

"Miss, the second madam seems to appear too overly concerned with the lord and madam's return. She makes it feel as if the lord and madam won't return." Baizhi looked to Qingyan and angrily said, "But I know the lord and madam will definitely return safely."

Qingyan nodded at her, "Mother, father, and elder brother will naturally return safely."

Qingyan happily said as she headed in the direction of her yard. She needed to go prepare things now; in a moment when Su Yun and the others return, they'll definitely be starving.

But thinking back to the former Su Qingyan's relationship with the couple, Qingyan let out a helpless smile. If it wasn't for Ning Siyao's intentional provoking, how could she have not cared for her parents.

She only hoped that this time, Su Yun is able to clearly see Su Ming and Su Yan's true face. If the house could be split, then naturally it was for the best.

"Miss, what things do we need to prepare for the lord and madam's return?" Huangcen walked in, carrying white fungus lotus seed soup.

"Today for father and mother's return, things will of course be arranged by my second aunt personally, what are we worried about." Qingyan said with a smile.

But as to whether Ning Siyao had prepared or not, she wouldn't know. But for the most part, Ning Siyao will probably assume Su Yun and Luo Bing died in the Forest of Buried Souls. So she definitely won't have anything prepared.

"However, I'm afraid second aunt won't have anything prepared, so we'll just have to hold a welcoming dinner for father and mother in this yard here." Qingyan said, as she took out the menu she prepared earlier. On it was various kinds of dish names.

Since she had considered there weren't going to be many people present, she'd discussed with Murong Jingxuan beforehand to use those cooks from Julong Zhai to cook up a table of luxurious dishes.

"Then what do we need to prepare?" Huangcen looked to Qingyan and asked with a smile.

Qingyan turned to Huangcen and shook her head, "I've already prepared everything, no need to worry." She picked up the booklet by her hand and began to read it. When she looked to Zizhu, she spoke with a smile, "That's right, remember to invite Deng yiniang over. After all, Deng yiniang has cared for me a lot, it's good to let father and mother know."

If she only invites Deng yiniang and not invite the others, to the other people, it was like a slap on the face. However, this was exactly what she liked doing.

At least let Su Ming and Su Yan know that she, Su Qingyan, isn't that easy to bully. Furthermore, Ning Siyao and Chai Yiyun use to treat her like that in the past.

"Oh right, do we need to invite the old madam?" Zizhu looked to Qingyan and asked with a serious look.

"Naturally there's a need to. Grandmother certainly needs to come over to eat with us. After all, second aunt didn't prepare anything." Qingyan delightfully smiled as she said this.

Just when Lue wanted to say something, she saw Qingdai and Chishao's figure appear in the doorway. Seeing the two of them covered in dust, she just knew they'd rushed back.

"Miss, the lord and madam are completely safe and sound. We left after seeing them meet up with the first young master." Qingdai looked to Qingyan and politely reported.

Qingyan looked to them and nodded, "Good. You must be tired, go rest for a bit. At night, there might even be a good show waiting for us to conclude."

"Yes." Qingdai and Chishao replied, as they withdrew from Qingyan's room.

Hearing Qingyan's words, Huangcen was a bit confused, "Miss, what is there to see at night?!"

"Naturally, it's our Granny Ruo." Qingyan said with a smile, "Granny Ruo's body is going to be discovered tonight."

The scorpion had already returned to her side. The only good thing about keeping the scorpion in another's body was that it could easily lay eggs. And those eggs can very quickly hatch in the body and feed on the blood and flesh.

If when the time comes, it attracts a flock of crows, then that would be considered a good show.

Ning Siyao, this show, don't be unable to clean up afterwards. After all, I've been looked forward to it for a long time.
